Agreed black wheels look good I have Peridot with black wheels looking at peridot in certain lights the colour seems to change it's got me wondering what it would look like with gold wheels like the new GT4
A thought I've also considered is the matte Aurum wheels, i also really like the matte aluminium finish.
Think the Aurum would suit the other colours great, just not so sure about Peridot.

Just spotted a black Cayman R coming out of Tesco's in Mold N.Wales.... Unusual to see another around here, was it anyone on here? Had a "N" reg cherished plate.

I was thinking about satin gold for mine - I reckon it would look pretty awesome and be easier to clean than the gloss black!

Decided yesterday that I needed to escape the house for a bit and as it was a lovely sunny day I thought I'd take the car for a play. Headed out from Aberdeen on roads that alternated between dry, damp and wet, but were all pleasantly quiet.

Seeing snow on the hills ahead I decided I'd try and get to some and headed up the A93 to Glenshee (the highest public road in the UK). Sure enough, about a mile before the summit, the rain became snow. I do have winter wheels and tyres for the car but they weren't on and so I was taking it easy - Pilot Super Sports are really not winter tyres! Great fun doing some big lazy drifts though before heading down and then north to the Lecht where there was also a smattering of snow.

Was a great drive with everything from bone dry sections of flat out road to tiptoeing through slushy corners. biggrin

After the car got a thorough bath, including snowfoam and powerwash of the underside, and was put back on the trickle charger for winter. Handily there was no salt on the roads yesterday or I probably wouldn't have taken it out.

Yeah I think it might just work on Peridot as well .
Although my wheels are mint and don't need a refurb I will have a think over winter and see if brave enough to go Gold.

looks like the race is on for first to dive in !

been pondering "going for gold" since picking mine up reckon a flat gold would look awesome then get the R stripes redone in Martini colours (mines Carrera white)

just need a level of commitment I'm not sure I'm ready for yet biggrin

Sold apparently. Very similar spec to mine apart from colour and that one has the bigger fuel tank where mine has the cornering xenons.

Probably low enough for someone to snap it up so you can then kick yourself that you didn’t! Haha. winkbiggrin

Och aye!!
Interesting to watch from the sidelines as I'm doing here. A few price drops the last few weeks so seller doesn't seem to be waiting until next spring.
Lack of PSE is the only thing but we've been down that path before..

Surely then you should just get the white Ashgood one bought?

I want to wait and see what 2020 brings...car market and economy

Can't justify jump from 987S to R at the moment and the things a blast.

Looks crap on both imo.

Weiss gold looks good against most colours. Here are mine just before fitting, looks a lot darker here.



Here in better light, would look great on Spyder wheels imo.
